My God and my Lord, eyes are at rest, stars are setting, hushed are the movements of birds in their nests, of monsters in the deep.
And Thou art the Just who knoweth no change, the Equity that swerveth not, the Everlasting that passes not away.
The doors of kings are locked, watched by their bodyguards; but Thy door is open to him who calls on Thee.
My Lord, each lover is now alone with his beloved, and Thou are for me the Beloved.
Izzadin Abu Mohammad Abdal-aziz (circa 11th Century), Taharat al-Qulub.
